Treat after end of year review

[User198724]

After having a few traumatic years in my personal life I took on a new position at work. I worked hard to learn this new role and my end of year review was great.
I would like to buy myself a treat to remind myself of the year I have had.
any suggestions?

When I was in your position I bought myself a piece of every day jewellery to wear - it's a bracelet. It reminds me of my resilience and growth out of the tough times and I take comfort from it when feeling overwhelmed...I did it before I can do it again kind of thing. Well done on your end of year review

I always treat myself to a new handbag after my review/bonus. Though last year I didn’t really need one so bought a case of nice wine.

Well done, OP - good for you. What's your budget?

I used to buy myself a new handbag too

I get myself a big lego set after things like this.

If I weren't into lego, I would take a friend or one of the dc to a nice restaurant I couldn't usually afford.

I'd buy a nice fountain pen.

@Lysianthus I was thinking a nice pen. What’s your fave brand?

Thanks for the replies everyone! There are so fab ideas!

If money no object then Mont Blanc (it is so I don't have one!) but I have a lovely Parker and Waterman is a good brand too.

Nice thought op, I've got my eye on a lovely flower ring for the same reason.

Well done OP! That takes guts and I hope you are very proud of yourself.

I agree with the idea of something lovely that you can use/look at every day and remind yourself of how fab you are.

After I had a big success at work, I bought myself a picture I'd been eyeing up in a local gallery window every time I passed. It's now on the wall in my home office and it gives me a smile every morning when I walk in to begin the day.
So choose something that makes you smile every day is my advice, whatever that is.
